Radio LP4 — The Mixtape — For the Drive, Summer 1987
In the first episode, Gray opens a box wrapped in gold gift paper and finds a Maxell UD 90 cassette tape, labelled in blue ballpoint: For the drive. Summer 1987. Tucked inside is a letter from a woman named Claire, writing from Melbourne. She made the tape for her best friend Ro before a coast to coast drive across Australia in a barely roadworthy Holden Kingswood. What she built into it — song by song, over two nights — and what Ro did with the two minutes of silence near the end of Side B, is tonight's story.
